Description
This round wall clock brings the four house crests of Harry Potter to the wall, each set in its own quarter of a pastel dial. Gryffindor's lion sits on a rose-pink ground, Slytherin's serpent on soft blue-green, Ravenclaw's eagle on powder blue and Hufflepuff's badger on warm honey yellow, every crest finished with its name on a curling gold banner. Between them are small drawings of round glasses, a wand, a striped scarf, a cauldron, a trophy and a stack of books, with a little crest at the centre. Bold, chunky numerals from 1 to 12 ring the dial, and gold-coloured spade hands turn over it. The frame is a matt turquoise, a calm border for the brighter dial. It measures 23cm across and 4cm deep.
At 23cm across it is a comfortable size for a bedroom wall, a study or a kitchen, where the numerals are easy to read from across the room. The pastel quarters sit happily against pale walls and painted panelling, and the turquoise frame picks up mint, sage and duck-egg tones already in the room. It works as a single focal point above a desk or a bed, or as part of a small arrangement of frames and prints on a gallery wall.
The clock runs on one AA battery, which is not included, so keep one to hand for the day it goes up. The dial sits behind a clear front cover that keeps dust off the print. To care for it, dust the frame with a soft dry cloth and wipe the front with a slightly damp cloth, keeping moisture away from the inside. As a gift it is easy to wrap and cheerful to open, and on your own wall it pairs well with soft greens and warm whites, letting the four crests bring the colour.
